Head's message

St Stithians Girls’ College provides an inclusive community where our young women are encouraged to explore, experiment and investigate. In line with the College’s Methodist ethos, this involves active participation in the variety of academic and extracurricular activities on offer.

I am a strong believer in acknowledging the role education plays in cultivating humanity. In our school we are shaping and moulding responsible citizens of the world. These are individuals who can operate as world citizens with sensitivity and understanding. We have adopted a broadminded approach to education at the Girls’ College and actively encourage our students to be critical of their habits and conventions and aware that life contains a multitude of possibilities. Our approach is to create independent, resilient and accountable women who are able to see difference and foreign not as a threat to be resisted, but as an invitation to explore and understand, expanding their capacity for citizenship and cultivating a humanity that inspires excellence and is ambitious in making a world of difference.
